It doesn't look that far away

The walk from Hazards Canyon to the tip of the sandspit is probably close to 6 miles, but this view shows how it seems like it is just right there. The entire beach is habitat for western snowy plovers, but this south end with the high bluffs does not get much activity fromthe nesting birds.  Morro Rock at the north end of this picture has many nesting birds including gulls, cormorants and two pair of peregrine falcon.
